Last year at RMAF I loved the Ayra C3.0 speakers that Lars was using in the Nordost room, but at $36,000 the cost is prohibitive. This year, the Nordost room instead was setup with the much less expensive Ayra C1.0 stand mounted monitors.
I've had my Spires for a year, and there is a lot about them that I love. The low bass is pretty great, the highs are unparalleled, and with a perfect recording the music really sparkles. However, I don't listen to classical or jazz, and in rock music a lot of time the recordings aren't great. I find that in average recordings when there is too much going on with the sound Martin Logans (both my Spires and Purities) break down a bit. They start to sound muddy, especially when the volume isn't cranked up.
So I know that everyone here has a ML bias, but for those of you that have heard the Ayra C1.0, how do you think I'll feel about them if I set them up and try them side by side with my Spires?
